Journals reject tougher checks on data
Article Abstract:
Leading medical journal editors worldwide have rejected proposals for stricter rules for publication of research sponsored by pharmaceutical firms. The international committee of medical journal editors recently met in Oslo, Norway, to discuss plans for adopting new publication rules which would require independent academic staisticians to analyse raw drug-trial data of pharmaceutical firms instead of staff at the firms conducting analyses and reporting results.

Row erupts over suffragette tale
Article Abstract:
An independent researcher is condemned for comparing modern Islamic terrorists to the feminist militant suffragette movement that successfully campaigned for British women's voting rights. Historians assert that suffrage militant campaigning did not have the same aims of terrorist actions that inspire fear and put the lives of general public at risk, and question whether his allegation is motivated by sexism.
